I'm no prophet and I'm no genius, but I can only tell you what I seem to know. As a fan of television and the movies, I think it's all for the better.

I spent a long time working in the movies to figure out that kind of acting and also how to write and produce for the screen.

I want you to take away the hope because that's the thing that's killing me.

My wife and I were poor when I started but we struggled along until things happened for me in my thirties. I knew I was doing what I loved even if I wasn't getting paid for it, so I think I'd still be doing it.

When I first got famous, Greg Dulli was also just starting to cook with the Afghan Whigs, and because of the MTV awards I met Dave Grohl and Nirvana and all these rock and roll bands. So I had experience with what it was like when people were taking off at that time.

All knowledge is ultimately rooted in metaphorical (or analogical) modes of perception and thought.

Worrying about tomorrow is the best way to screw up today.
